[Albion] What was the better goal?

ManOfSussex · Jan 5, 2020

A pub conversation last night has got out of hand and needs to be settled - A simple question, what was the better overhead goal?

Jahanbakhsh v Chelsea in The Premier League:

Or: Pele v The Germans in Escape to Victory:

The music is an instant turn off. Definitely ours.

Ali J obviously. Pele's took 15 takes to get right*

*maybe

The pedantry police would like to point out the goal from Escape to Victory was scored by ‘Luis Fernandez’.

Jahanbakhsh didn't have a ball whipped in by Bobby Moore either - it's a difficult call.

Its the same.

Neither was as good as AJ goal against Bournemouth

Definitely Pele.

Like to see Ali do it with broken ribs

This sounds like a threat!

The stewards in the film featuring Pele, seem more arrogant.

Jahanbakhsh as scored from further out in a competitive game as opposed to one scored in a third rate war film

What have you got against the lad? :shrug:

You sadistic heartless b'stard. :drool:

AJ's as he is ours

Ali will never be good enough to clean the boots of Pele, but he sure scored a better goal of the two.
PS Did Pele ever play in the PL, thought not, not good enough!

Who learnt to play on the streets of Trinidad

As good as AJ's was, it wasn't as good as the greatest ever overhead kick goal.

Frankie · Jan 6, 2020

If Ali had hit the ball as straight as Pele did then the keeper would of saved it , so for technique alone Jahanbakhsh wins it , i doubt we will ever see a finer goal by a Brighton and Hove Albion player in our lifetimes .

DavidRyder · Jan 6, 2020

The defending was worse for Pele's goal - the near defender jumped about 10 seconds early to try and clear with a header.

A1X · Jan 6, 2020

But were the crowd in Escape to Victory allowed bottle tops?

This one's a bit special as well:
